This engaging and thought-provoking double-lesson resource aids students in developing a secure understanding of the opening chapter (‘March’) of Stephen Kelman’s 'Pigeon English.’ In this section of the text, Harri sees the blood of the dead boy outside Chicken Joe’s, has interactions with the ‘Dell Farm Crew’ and begins investigating the murder with his friends.
The comprehensive and colourful PowerPoint presentation enables students to understand the text through:
-Making predictions;
-Retrieving and inferring information;
-Analysing characters;
-Linking the text to its context.
The sessions include a range of retrieval, vocabulary, inference, explanation and deeper thinking activities. A clear, colourful and comprehensive PowerPoint presentation guides students through the learning.
There’s a lot of content in the resource (22 slides in total) and in the past I have utilised this material over two or even three lessons. The lessons are best suited to students in KS4, and develop students’ knowledge and skills in relation to a number of GCSE assessment objectives.
